Trump budget director: Feeding elderly and children has to end, it's not 'showing any results'

Gotta pay for the 40 million a month to pay the security for melania to live in trump towers somehow.


We can't do that anymore. We can't spend money on programs just because they sound good. Meals on Wheels sounds great. [?] I can't defend that anymore. We cannot defend that anymore. $20 trillion in debt. We're going to spend money, we're going to spend a lot of money but we're not going to spend it on programs that show they deliver the promises we made to people.

As for school children:

They're supposed to help kids who don't get fed at home get fed so they do better in school. Guess what? There's no evidence they're actually doing that. There's no evidence they're helping results, helping kids do better in school, which is what -- when we took your money from you to say, we're going to spend them on after-school program, we justified it by saying these kids will do better in school and get jobs. We have no proof that's helping.
